Question

$- 1^{\circ} C$ to $13^{\circ} C$ annual variations in the intensity and duration of temperature and $50$ to $250\, cm$. annual variation in precipitation, account for the formation of a major biome as:

• A. Temperate forest
• B. Coniferous forest
• C. Tropical forest
• D. Grassland

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Coniferous forest

Answer 2

Coniferous forests, sometimes referred to as boreal forests, are made up of evergreen trees with needle-like leaves and cones.

• Coniferous woods experience long, chilly winters, which encourage the establishment of cone-bearing trees.
• These trees resemble fir, spruce, and pines.
• This biome is widespread in mid-latitude areas.
• Every year, temperatures between -30°C and 30°C (-22°F and 86°F) fall below freezing, creating distinct growing seasons in the spring, summer, and early fall.
• Precipitation throughout the year ranges between 50 cm and 250 cm.
